(Steve Berry) In the modern world, libraries are taken for granted by most people, perhaps because their presence is ubiquitous. Every institution has a collection, large libraries can be found in every major city, and even most small towns have general population libraries. However, the omnipresent character of libraries is a reasonably recent historical trend because libraries were still few in number prior to the 19th century.
